My dissertation should describe new advances and developments in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, medical targets (e.g. target molecules, receptors) should be identified. I wanted to include a short description what PD is and what the main features of the disease are. The main focus should be on the treatments. This can include new treatments but also improvements in current treatments. If possible, data from clinical studies should be included and discussed. I had no possibility to conduct surveys or a collection of data. So, the work is based on publications. Please select the most recent publications for the project. I would appreciate if, especially for the treatment part (Material, Results), no publication older than 5 years is used.

Research concerning competition strategies between big pharmaceuticals (branded drugs and generics) in the time horizon of the past decade within Europe.How main pharmaceuticals sustain a competitive advantage after the patent-cliff?The master thesis should be based in a way on the theory book' industrial organization Competition, Strategy and Policy' of John Lipcwynski consisting of a literature study ( market structure, game theory,...). Critical interpretational views is of crucial importance.
Some research areas that I find interesting:
- impact of dual-pricing
- pricing strategies
- Significance/effiency of R&D advertising, strategic alliances and M&AChapter 1 - Introduction
